Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main aim of this present systematic review is to evaluate if the preservation of pericervical dentin (PCD) increases the fracture resistance of endodontically treated permanent posterior teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two independent reviewers conducted a comprehensive review of all published studies from 2007 (1/1/2007) to 2023 (31/5/23) since the concept of PCD first appeared in the literature in 2007. Searches were conducted in multiple electronic database engines: PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO (Dentistry and oral health sciences), Web of Sciences (WOS), Cochrane, Google Scholar and Open Grey, Ovid and Shodhganga, in addition to cross-references and hand search. Articles were chosen according to a certain inclusion and exclusion criteria, which, in brief, are laboratory-based studies published in English that assess the impact of PCD on fracture resistance of endodontically treated permanent posterior teeth. Using domains, such as sample size, sample dimensions, and control group as quality assessment criteria, evaluated the selected articles and classified them according to their risk of bias into low, moderate, and high. A meta-analysis was conducted using random effects modeling at a significance level of p < 0.05. RESULTS A total of studies 6,043 were retrieved from 10 different electronic search databases and hand searches, but only 12 laboratory-based studies were selected after removing duplicates and applying the eligibility criteria. Of the included 12 studies, nine studies showed low risk of bias and three studies showed moderate risk of bias. Two studies showed related data for meta-analysis, the difference observed between the two studies is statistically non-significant. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the study, there is evidence to support that PCD preservation offers fracture resistance to the endodontically treated posterior teeth. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The practice of conservative cavity preparation and avoiding the usage of instruments with high taper increases the fracture resistance of the tooth by retaining the PCD.

Abstract
To evaluate the influence of the loss of coronal and radicular tooth structure on the biomechanical behavior and fatigue life of an endodontically treated maxillary premolar with confluent root canals using finite element analysis (FEA). An extracted maxillary second premolar was scanned to produce intact (IT) 3D model. Models were designed with an occlusal conservative access cavity (CAC) with different coronal defects; mesial defect (MO CAC), occlusal, mesial and distal defect (MOD CAC), and 2 different root canal preparations (30/.04, and 40/.04) producing 6 experimental models. FEA was used to study each model. A simulation of cycling loading of 50N was applied occlusally to stimulate the normal masticatory force. Number of cycles till failure (NCF) was used to compare strength of different models and stress distribution patterns via von Mises (vM) and maximum principal stress (MPS). The IT model survived 1.5 × 1010 cycles before failure, the CAC-30.04 had the longest survival of 1.59 × 109, while the MOD CAC-40.04 had the shortest survival of 8.35 × 107 cycles till failure. vM stress analysis showed that stress magnitudes were impacted by the progressive loss of coronal tooth structure rather than the radicular structure. MPS analysis showed that significant loss of coronal tooth structure translates into more tensile stresses. Given the limited size of maxillary premolars, marginal ridges have a critical role in the biomechanical behavior of the tooth. Access cavity preparation has a much bigger impact than radicular preparation on their strength and life span.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigated different access cavity designs of mandibular anteriors in terms of their effect on the biomechanical behavior and longevity using finite element analysis (FEA). METHODS A 3-dimensional model of a mandibular incisor was created for FEA. After validating the intact tooth (IT) model, 4 experimental models were developed (traditional lingual access cavity [TLA], facial access cavity [FAC], incisal access cavity [ICA], and cervical access cavity [CVA]). Cyclic loading was simulated, and the number of cycles until failure (NCF) was compared to the IT model. Stress distribution patterns, maximum von Mises stresses (vMSs), and maximum principal stresses (MPSs) were analyzed mathematically. The safety factor was also calculated and demonstrated. RESULTS The maximum vMS registered on the IT model was 134.16 MPa. The FCA and the CVA provided the highest NCF (193.7% compared with the IT model) followed by ICA (58.2%) and TLA (21.4%). The vM and MPS analysis revealed that the lingual surface is a primary stress channel, and the presence of an access cavity significantly weakens the tooth structure. Although the maximum vMS registered for the IT model was 134.16 MPa, the maximum vMS was 73.97 MPa for both the FCA and the CVA, 152.27 MPa for the ICA, and 173.63 MPa for the TLA. CONCLUSIONS The facial and cervical access cavity designs provided considerable reinforcement to the endodontically treated mandibular incisors. With advancements in esthetic restorative materials and endodontic instruments, facial access design could emerge as the new standard for access cavity preparation in mandibular incisors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of mandibular first molars after preparation with 3 different access cavity designs and 2 rotary systems using finite element analysis. METHODS Six 3-dimensionally printed mandibular first molars simulating natural teeth received traditional, conservative, and ultraconservative (truss) access cavity preparations. The root canals in each group were instrumented with either XP-Endo Shaper (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) or TruNatomy (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland) rotary files. The models were individually digitized, and micro-computed tomographic scans were transferred to Mimics software (Materialise NV, Leuven, Belgium) to create a geometric model of the tooth. The designed model was exported to 3-matic software (Materialise NV), and STL files were transferred to Geomagic Design X (3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC). Point cloud data were used for surfacing and transferred to ANSYS software (Ansys, Canonsburg, PA). A 200-N superficial force was applied vertically to the buccal cusps and central fossa, and the maximum and minimum equivalent von Mises stress values were calculated and reported. RESULTS The traditional and ultraconservative access cavity designs yielded the highest and the lowest von Mises stress values, respectively. In the ultraconservative cavity design, the stress values in pericervical dentin were lower in canal preparation with TruNatomy compared with XP-Endo Shaper. In the traditional and conservative cavity designs, stress was lower in the first 2 mm from the cementoenamel junction in the XP-Endo Shaper group and in the next 3 mm in the TruNatomy group. CONCLUSIONS Stress was lower in the ultraconservative and conservative cavity designs compared with the traditional design. Also, root canal preparation with TruNatomy yielded lower stress values in general compared with XP-Endo Shaper.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigated the effects from the carious cavity and access from it on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary premolars using finite element analysis (FEA). METHODS A maxillary premolar was used to compare 3 types of access cavity related to having a proximal carious defect: caries-driven access (CDA), conservative access that has a mesial component (MCA), as well as traditional access with the same mesial component (MTA). Cyclic loading was simulated on the occlusal surface, and number of cycles until failure (NCF) was compared with the intact tooth model (IT). Mathematical analysis was done to evaluate the stress distribution patterns and calculated maximum von Mises (vM) and maximum principal stresses (MPS), with emphasis on pericervical region as a specific area of interest. RESULTS Maximum vM registered on the IT was 6.14 MPa. CDA provided the highest NCF with 92.28% of the IT, followed by MCA (84.90%) and MTA (83.79%). The vM and MPS analysis showed that the stress values and patterns are affected more by the proximity of the occlusal load to the tooth/restoration interface. Concerning the pericervical region, maximum vM was registered for IT (4.11 MPa), followed by CDA (4.85 MPa) and then MCA (8.13 MPa) and MTA (8.61 MPa), whereas the MPS analysis revealed that CDA showed the highest magnitude of tensile stresses. CONCLUSIONS A proximal CDA benefits the mechanical properties of maxillary premolars; however, its impact on the biological aspect should be assessed to provide a ruling for/against it.

Patterns of stress distribution of endodontically treated molar under different types of loading using finite element models-the exploring of mechanism of vertical root fracture.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanism of vertical root fracture (VRF) using three-dimensional finite element models (FEMs). METHODS An endodontically treated mandibular first molar with a subtle VRF was collected and scanned with cone beam CT (CBCT). Three finite element analysis models were created: Model 1 had the actual endodontically treated root canal size; Model 2 had the same root canal size as the contralateral homonymous tooth; and Model 3 had the root canal size expanded by 1 mm based on Model 1. Different types of loading were performed on these 3 FEMs. The stress distribution on the cervical, middle, and apical planes was analyzed, and the maximum stress on the root canal wall was calculated and compared. RESULTS In Model 1, the maximum stress around the root canal wall occurred in the cervical part of the mesial root under vertical masticatory force and in the middle part of the mesial root under buccal and lingual lateral masticatory forces. Additionally, there was a stress change zone in a bucco-lingual direction that corresponded with the actual fracture line. In Model 2, the maximum stress around the root canal was in the cervical part of the mesial root under both vertical and buccal lateral masticatory forces. For Model 3, the stress distribution was similar to that of Model 1, but greater under buccal lateral masticatory force and occlusal trauma force. In all three models, the maximum stress around the root canal wall was in the middle part of the distal root under occlusal trauma force. CONCLUSIONS The uneven stress around the root canal in the middle part (presented as a stress change zone in a bucco-lingual direction) may be the cause of VRFs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to predict the fracture resistance of a mandibular first molar (MFM) with diverse endodontic cavities using finite element analysis (FEA). METHODS Five experimental finite element models representing a natural tooth (NT) and 4 endodontically treated MFMs were generated. Treated MFM models were with a traditional endodontic cavity (TEC) and minimally invasive endodontic (MIE) cavities, including guided endodontic cavity (GEC), contracted endodontic cavity (CEC) and truss endodontic cavity (TREC). Three loads were applied, simulating a maximum bite force of 600 N (N) vertically and a normal masticatory force of 225 N vertically and laterally. The distributions of von Mises (VM) stress and maximum VM stress were calculated. RESULTS The maximum VM stresses of the NT model were the lowest under normal masticatory forces. In endodontically treated models, the distribution of VM stress in GEC model was the most similar to NT model. The maximum VM stresses of the GEC and CEC models under different forces were lower than those of TREC and TEC models. Under vertical loads, the maximum VM stresses of the TREC model were the highest, while under the lateral load, the maximum VM stress of the TEC model was the highest. CONCLUSION The stress distribution of tooth with GEC was most like NT. Compared with TECs, GECs and CECs may better maintain fracture resistance, TRECs, however, may have a limited effect on maintenance of the tooth resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigated the effect of shaping parameters of two different configurations of middle mesial canals (MMC) on the biomechanical behavior and life span of a mandibular first molar using finite element analysis (FEA). METHODS A mandibular molar with an independent MMC and another with a confluent MMC were scanned via micro-CT, and FEA models were produced. For each tooth, an intact model and 5 experimental models were produced differed by parameters of how MMC was shaped: unshaped MMC, 25/.04, 25/.06, 30/.04, and 30/.06. Cyclic loading of 50 N was applied on the occlusal surface in vertical and oblique scenarios, and the number of cycles until failure (NCF) was compared to the intact models. In addition, mathematical analyses evaluated the stress distribution patterns and calculated maximum von Mises and maximum principal stresses. RESULTS For both the independent and confluent MMC models, shaping the MMC reduced the NCF. The lifelog percentage of models was inversely proportional with radicular shaping parameters during the vertical and oblique loading scenarios. The shaping size of 30/.06 resulted in lower lifelog percentage than the cases with shaping size of 25/.04 in both of the independent and confluent MMC models. For all models, oblique loading reduced NCF more than vertical loading. CONCLUSION Shaping the MMC should be kept as conservative as 25/.04. Also, whether the MMC is independent or confluent is a deciding factor in whether to increase the apical diameter or the root canal taper when larger shaping parameters are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study evaluated the effect of traditional and conservative endodontic access cavity designs in combination with WaveOne Gold and TruNatomy instrumentation systems on the fracture resistance of mandibular first molars by means of nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA). METHODS Micro-CT images of 4 human mandibular first molars were used to generate representative FEA models. The mandibular first molars samples were scanned before and after endodontic access cavity preparation and instrumentation of all 3 canals. Five nonlinear static loads were applied vertically and horizontally to specific contact points on the occlusal surface of the teeth. Maximum von Mises stress before failure and distribution of von Mises strains were recorded and compared between groups. RESULTS Molars with conservative endodontic access cavities required similar levels of loads to reach failure compared with their control samples, whereas molars with traditional endodontic access cavities required significantly reduced loads in order to fail. According to the numerical investigation, the type of instrumentation system was found to have an insignificant effect on the fracture resistance of the teeth under study. Von Mises stress was concentrated around the cervical region and in the larger distal roots for all numerical models. CONCLUSIONS The fracture resistance of mandibular first molars is influenced significantly by a reduction in dental hard tissue, which was found to control the level of the ultimate failure load for each tooth.

Abstract
It is very important for clinicians to provide restorative treatments that provide durability for endodontically treated teeth. Trauma, occlusal premature contact, and features of teeth are some of the issues that can cause vertical root fractures (VRFs) in root canal-treated teeth. The aim of this 3-D study was to compare stress distribution on mandibular premolar teeth when using a variety of post designs instrumented with different rotary systems. Six mandibular premolar teeth were instrumented with the following tools: ProTaper Next, WaveOne (WO), Reciproc (R), ReciprocBlue (RB), F6-Skytaper, and TF-Adaptive. Teeth were scanned using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the images were transferred to the Catia V5R25 software. Data were recorded in a stereolithography (STL) format. Four different post systems were used, fabricated from metal, fiber, zirconia, and titanium, respectively. Dentin, gutta, post, core, and crown models were added to the solid model. ANSYS V17.2 finite element analysis (FEA) software was used to determine stress distribution on each assembly. Finite analysis models were created that allowed for the calculation of stress distribution of 250-N loading at a 45° angle and vertical in relation to the roots. The maximum principal stress and von Mises values were higher under oblique loading on the roots. The F6-Skytaper and WO systems showed lower stress than other systems. The TF-Adaptive instrument showed higher stress distribution than the other models. Fiber and titanium posts showed lower stress than others. The F6-Skytaper, R, and RB instruments were found to be most effective in terms of displacement of the crown, resulting in the lowest stress values. Fiber and titanium posts showed better results than other post systems, while root canals instrumented with the F6-Skytaper and WO instruments were less likely to result in root fractures.

[PMID: 36137469 PMCID: PMC9493060 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Root canal treatment is performed to remove the bacteria proliferating in the root canals of a tooth. Many conventional root canal irrigation methods use an instrument inserted into the root canals. However, bacteria removal is often incomplete in the apical region of the root canal, and the treatment carries clinical risks, such as instrument fracture and extrusion of irrigation liquid through the canal apex. We here suggest a novel, remotely generated high-intensity ultrasound irrigation system that exhibits better irrigation performance and a reduced clinical risk. Our device employs powerful ultrasonic waves generated by a transducer placed outside a target tooth. The generated ultrasonic waves are guided to travel into the root canals. In the root canals of the target tooth, acoustic cavitation occurs, and vapor bubbles are created. The dynamic motions of vapor bubbles create remarkable cleaning effects. Using root canal models, we tested the cleaning performance of the proposed system and compared it with other conventional irrigation methods. The results revealed that biofilm in the apical region of the root canal models can be removed exclusively using the proposed system, thus demonstrating an improvement in cleaning performance. We also measured pressure at the apex of the root canals of an extracted tooth while operating the proposed system. Our system exhibited a smaller pressure compared to the syringe irrigation method, thus suggesting a reduced risk of apical extrusion of the irrigation liquid. Since the proposed system operates without inserting instruments into the root canal, it can clean multiple root canals in a tooth simultaneously with a single treatment. The proposed device would be a breakthrough in root canal treatment in terms of irrigation performance, clinical safety, and ease of treatment.

Fracture resistance and biomechanical behavior of different access cavities of maxillary central incisors restored with different composite resins. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:6295-6303. [PMID: 35713701 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04581-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three different access cavities on the tissue removal, deflection, fracture resistance, and stress distribution of extracted maxillary central incisors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty human maxillary central incisors were randomly assigned in four experimental group (n = 10) including conservative access cavity "CAC," traditional access cavity "TAC," invasive access cavity "IAC," and without access cavity (control group). Cone-beam computed tomography "CBCT" scans were used to evaluate the tissue removal during the different access cavities. All specimens were restored with composite resin (Admira Fusion, Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany) and embedded in acrylic resin blocks after simulating the periodontal ligament using red wax, then the specimens were submitted to the deflection test applying a load of 250 N and to the load-to-fracture test after artificial aging in a mechanical cycling machine (150 N, 5 × 106 cycles, 10 Hz). Lastly, stress distribution was assessed by three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA), simulating the specimens restoration by two types of composite resins of low and high elastic modulus (8 and 18 GPa respectively) after the access cavities. The data were submitted to Shapiro-Wilk and KS normality tests. Then, they were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests with a significance level (α ≤ 0.05). RESULTS CBCT scans showed a significant difference of worn tissues in CAC and TAC when compared to the IAC (P < 0.0001). In deflection test, CAC showed lower deformation values than the TAC and IAC. Load-to-fracture test presented no significant difference among the three experimental groups (P = 0.6901). 3D-FEA showed that the more conservative the access cavity, the higher the stress magnitude. CONCLUSIONS CAC promote less worn tissue; however, this does not improve the stress distribution or fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary incisors. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians should reconsider the pros and cons of the conservative access cavity.

Abstract
This systematic review (PROSPERO-CRD42020147333) aimed to compare the effects of conservative, ultraconservative and truss access cavities with traditional access cavities on the load capacity of root-canal-treated teeth. Online databases were searched until December 2021, and 25 ex vivo studies in which the effects of different access cavities on load capacity of permanent teeth had been investigated were included. Quality assessment was completed using a modified risk of bias tool for in vitro studies adapted from previous studies. Meta-analysis was performed using the maximum-likelihood-based random-effects model with similar groups. Conservative access cavities significantly improved the load capacity of maxillary premolars (p < 0.01 [-1.32, -0.028]) and molars (p < 0.05 [-0.89, -0.02]) compared to traditional access cavities. Additionally, truss access cavities significantly improved the load capacity of mandibular molars with (p < 0.05, [-1.18, -0.02]) mesio-occluso-distal cavity preparations. Higher levels of evidence are needed to determine the long-term implications of minimal preparations for treatment outcomes.

Abstract
The prognosis of root‐filled teeth depends not only on a successful root canal treatment but also on the restorative prognosis. This critical review discusses the advantages and limitations of various methodologies used to assess the load capacity or clinical survivability of root‐filled teeth and restorations. These methods include static loading, cyclic loading, finite element analysis and randomized clinical trials. In vitro research is valuable for preclinical screening of new dental materials or restorative modalities. It also can assist investigators or industry to decide whether further clinical trials are justified. It is important that these models present high precision and accuracy, be reproducible, and present adequate outcomes. Although in vitro models can reduce confounding by controlling important variables, the lack of clinical validation (accuracy) is a downside that has not been properly addressed. Most importantly, many in vitro studies did not explore the mechanisms of failure and their results are limited to rank different materials or treatment modalities according to the maximum load capacity. An extensive number of randomized clinical trials have also been published in the last years. These trials have provided valuable insight on the survivability of the root‐filled tooth answering numerous clinical questions. However, trials can also be affected by the selected outcome and by intrinsic and extrinsic biases. For example, selection bias, loss to follow‐up and confounding. In the clinical scenario, hypothesis‐based studies are preferred over observational and retrospective studies. It is recommended that hypothesis‐based studies minimize error and bias during the design phase.

Abstract
In the last decades, the move of Medicine towards minimally invasive treatments is notorious and scientifically grounded. As Dentistry naturally follows its footsteps, minimal access preparation also became a trend topic in the endodontic field. This procedure aims to maximize preservation of dentine tissue, backed up by the idea that this is an effective way to reduce the incidence of post-treatment tooth fracture. However, with the assessment of the body of evidence on this topic, it is possible to observe some key-points (a) the demand for nomenclature standardization, (b) the requirement of specific tools such as ultra-flexible instruments, visual magnification, superior illumination, and three-dimensional imaging technology, (c) minimally invasive treatment does not seem to affect orifice location and mechanical preparation when using adequate armamentarium, but it (d) may impair adequate canal cleaning, disinfection, and filling procedures, and also (e) it displays contradictory results regarding the ability to increase the tooth strengthen compared to the traditional access cavity. In spite of that, it is undeniable that methodological flaws of some benchtop studies using extracted teeth may be responsible for the conflicting data, thus triggering the need for more sophisticated devices/facilities and specifically designed research in an attempt to make it clear the role of the access size/design on long-term teeth survival. Moreover, it is inevitable that a clinical approach like minimal endodontic access cavities that demands complex tools and skilled and experienced operators bring to the fore doubts on its educational impact mainly when confronted with the conflicting scientific output, ultimately provoking a cost-benefit analysis of its implementation as a routine technique. In addition, this review discusses the ongoing scientific and clinical status of minimally invasive access cavities aiming to input an in-depth and unbiased view over the rationale behind them, uncovering not only the related conceptual and scientific flaws, but also outlining future directions for research and clinical practices. The conclusions attempt to skip from passionate disputes highlighting the current body of evidence as weak and incomplete to guide decision making, demanding the development of a close-to-in-situ laboratory model or a large and well-controlled clinical trial to solve this matter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties and the amount of coronal tissue removed among the different access cavities with a multi-sample three-dimensional finite element analysis in mandibular first molar. The correlation between the amount of tissue removed and the fracture resistance of the teeth was also analysed. METHODS Micro-CT data from 20 two-rooted mandibular first molars were included in this study as three-dimensional modelling prototypes. The models of untreated molars and molars treated with the Traditional Access Cavity (TradAC), the Conservative Access Cavity (ConsAC) and the straight-line minimally invasive endodontic access cavities (SMIAC) were created. Each model was loaded in 3 ways to simulate the functional conditions of occlusion. The amount of tissue removed and the maximum stress in the cervical region were recorded and analysed, and the correlation between them was also analysed. RESULTS The amount of coronal tissue and peri-cervical dentin (PCD) removed in SMIAC and ConsAC was less than that of TradAC. The mean maximum stress in the cervical region was significantly smaller in SMIAC and ConsAC than in TradAC. The amount of hard tissue and PCD loss was positively correlated with the maximum stress in the cervical region of the tooth. CONCLUSIONS In mandibular first molars, it could be beneficial to improve the fracture resistance of the tooth after endodontic treatment by the minimally invasive access cavity to reduce the loss of coronal tooth tissue and PCD. The SMIAC may be an option balancing biomechanical properties and clinical convenience.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess related studies and discuss the clinical implications of endodontic access cavity (AC) designs. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of studies comparing the fracture resistance and/or endodontic outcomes between different AC designs was conducted in two electronic search databases (PubMed and Web of Science) following the PRISMA guidelines. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed. Meta-analyses were undertaken for fracture resistance and root canal detection, with the level of significance set at 0.05 (P = 0.05). RESULTS A total of 33 articles were included in this systematic review. The global evaluation of the risk of bias in the included studies was assessed as moderate, and the level of evidence was rated as low. Four types of AC designs were categorized: traditional (TradAC), conservative (ConsAC), ultraconservative (UltraAC), and truss (TrussAC). Their impact on fracture resistance, cleaning/disinfection, procedural errors, root canal detection, treatment time, apical debris extrusion, and root canal filling was discussed. Meta-analysis showed that compared to TradAC, (i) there is a significant higher fracture resistance of teeth with ConsAC, TrussAC, or ConsAC/TrussAC when all marginal ridges are preserved (P < 0.05), (ii) there is no significant effect of the type of AC on the fracture resistance of teeth when one or two marginal ridges are lost (P > 0.05), and (iii) there is a significantly higher risk of undetected canals with ConsAC if not assisted by dental operating microscope and ultrasonic troughing (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Decreasing the AC extent does not necessarily present mechanical and biological advantages especially when one or more surfaces of the tooth structure are lost. To date, the evidence available does not support the application of TrussAC. UltraAC might be applied in limited occasions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Maintaining the extent of AC design as small as practical without jeopardizing the root canal treatment quality remains a pragmatic recommendation. Different criteria can guide the practitioner for the optimal extent of AC outline form which varies from case to case.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigated the impact of different canal tapers and access cavity designs on the life span of endodontically treated mandibular first molars using the finite element method. METHODS Finite element analysis was performed on simulated models with 3 access cavity designs (traditional, conservative, and truss). The mesial canals were prepared to either constant tapers of 25/.04 and 25/.06 or a variable taper corresponding to the cumulative canal preparation shapes of TruNatomy Prime (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC) and ProTaper Gold F2 (Dentsply Sirona). The distal canals in all models had a 40/.04 preparation. Using occlusal fingerprint analysis, all models were subjected to cyclic occlusal loading until model failure. The number of cycles until failure, the location of failure, stress distribution patterns, and the maximum von Mises stresses were assessed. RESULTS The traditional access models showed a lower life span than the conservative and truss models regardless of the canal taper, whereas there was not a notable difference in the conservative and truss models. The stresses migrated apically along the root surface and remarkably on the mesial aspect of the mesial root and the furcation area's outer surface. After root canal preparation with different tapers, there were no evident changes in the pattern and magnitude of the stresses distributed along the root surface. CONCLUSIONS The life span of the tooth is affected more significantly by the access cavity design than the root canal preparation taper. Because stress patterns migrate apically rather than concentrate in the pericervical area, crack initiation and propagation might occur anywhere on the root surface.
